    A man lived in Kockrobin house some time ago. He was rich. There were three lime trees grew in front of the house and no one ever knocked limbs off them. After a while his sister died and he left the house. Another gentleman bought the house and as soon as he came to live there the three trees died away. The roots of the trees are there yet.
